In Photoshop you can go to colour balance/adjustment and set the sliders to +25, +0, -25, atleast in mine (CS2)  Wink

Every morning, I see that in the bathroom mirror.  The grainy look helps - perhaps not as much.  'Wafu448' had a couple of Mustangs (Two Old Crows) which are a good example.  Minimize color to perhaps a hint.  Avoid airports with modern markings.  Scenery the same.

Not sure it's the look you want, but the first two look very realistic to me. I love 'em.  Smiley
But how did you get the right gear to come down slower/later than the left?

Cheers for the tips and comments people  Smiley

@ Patchz: i just pressed 'g' to bring gear down, then half way through the gear dropping, i went to 'failures' and broke the right gear! the rest carry on.

lol yes that would help! i was trying for the 'oh no my gear wont come down!!' look. if u look closely, you'll see the left engine has failed too, but its not very clear, and so it just looks like the pilot is very stupid  Grin
